This is being driven by Nat Friedman, one of the cofounders of Gnome. So it’s got some level of open source cred.

> It takes four years of education before becoming a taxi driver in London

I’ve only been to London once, for work. One of the coolest things I did when I was there was to take a black London cab from the financial district to Heathrow when I was leaving. It was probably a 30 minute drive. The driver had been driving a cab since 1982. He told me all about the requirements and training for being a cab driver and a bunch of other things that I did not know (for example, they own the cars, and they can choose when they work). He was also a wealth of information about London, as you can imagine, and pointed out lots of interesting things as we drove.

It was probably a $50 cab ride, but worth every penny (even though it wasn’t my money since it was a work trip).

As I understand it, he wasn’t asked to be in the movie but rather he made it a condition of filming in his hotel that he be given a cameo.

Dave Grohl is another one that comes to mind.

Readwise does this pretty well.

Along with at least one tech billionaire.

10126 here. I wouldn't have guessed it was that low.

Also try wearing merino wool socks. It seems counterintuitive to put wool on your sweaty feet, but they're quite comfortable and they help you avoid that "clammy feet" feeling when you are sweating in cotton socks. They also don't develop odor the way that cotton does.

Speaking from personal experience, people react to different SSRIs differently. I took a popular one that had significant side effects without a whole lot of benefit, and so I stopped it and didn't try anything else for 10 years. Then I spoke to a psychiatric nurse practitioner who suggested trying several others until we found something that worked for me. I had (incorrectly) assumed that if you had e.g. sexual side effects from one SSRI, that you'd have them for all. That is not the case.

Nobody should take this as medical advice, but from my own experience, nothing has made a bigger difference in my sleep quality than supplementing with magnesium glycinate. I didn't even start taking it for that purpose - I was taking it for something else and quickly noticed that it made the quality of my sleep significantly better. The only side effect from it is that sometimes I have strange dreams (not nightmares or anything, just odd).

Everyone should check with their doctor, but it's an inexpensive supplement and the effects (if any) show up pretty quickly, so IMO it's worth a shot.

I also loved magical thinking. Even though I haven’t experienced anything close to losing a spouse, it was a wonderful read.

As I understand it, it's really only abusable by people who don't have ADHD. It's a stimulant, similar to cocaine in that way. In people with ADHD, it's calming.

I used VSS in the 90s as well, it was a nightmare when working in a team. As I recall, Microsoft themselves did not use VSS internally, at least not for the majority of things.

MS Word is not aiming to support Markdown.

That's exactly it.
